Certainly! Let's break down the process to determine the equation to calculate the cost for Quality Car Hire.
To determine the cost for Quality Car Hire, we need to identify both the base charge and the per kilometer charge. We have the following details:
1. Base Charge for Quality Car Hire: R 350 (or 350 ZAR)
2. Per Kilometer Charge for Quality Car Hire: R 1,25 (or 1.25 ZAR per kilometer)
The general form of the equation to determine the cost is:
[tex]\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Charge} + (\text{Per Km Charge} \times \text{Number of Kilometers Travelled})
\][/tex]
Using the given values:
1. The base charge is R 350.
2. The per kilometer charge is R 1,25.
Therefore, substituting these values into the general equation we get:
[tex]\[
\text{Total Cost}_{\text{Quality Car Hire}} = 350 + 1,25 \times \text{Number of Kilometers Travelled}
\][/tex]
So, the equation to determine the cost for Quality Car Hire is:
[tex]\[
\text{Total Cost}_{\text{Quality Car Hire}} = 350 + 1,25 \times \text{Number of Kilometers Travelled}
\][/tex]
This is the equation you can use to calculate the costs for Quality Car Hire based on the distance travelled.
